Barack Obama looks ridiculous...

This would be a lot more funny than it already is if it weren't true!

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/ni...O27O-Nr4.email

To quote:

"It is rather ironic that Barack Obama, who has probably done more damage to the American economy that any president in modern US history, is now lecturing European leaders on their financial problems as well. The Obama administration’s track record of out-of-control government spending and borrowing, a $1.3 trillion budget deficit (the largest since World War Two), combined with mammoth bailouts, has been nothing short of disastrous. 14 million Americans are out of work, the housing market is in a state of collapse, and job growth is practically non-existent outside of the Washington Beltway. And the advice his flailing government is now giving across the Atlantic will inevitably prolong the huge economic turmoil in Europe, rather than help bring it to an end."

Its a STUPID PLAN, as defined by the socialist Germans (who are loved and respected by some in this forum): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/f...scue-fund.html

But don't worry. Taxing the rich will fix all of this!

Couldn't find enough stateside right-wing commentators to satisfy your thirst for Obama-bashing?

Strange how the rest of the world can't seem to get enough of our treasury bonds if our economy is in such bad shape.

The worst of it is that their economies are in bad shape due to their purchasing of our AAA credit default swaps. So, we (in part) cause their banks' troubles and then have the gall to lecture them on how to fix it. If our own "fixes" had worked, we might be in a position to deliver such a lecture. OTOH...........

We do have some leverage. According to the article the US is propping up the EU banks.

But they've got it completely under control, sure

And it's Barack Hussein Obama. Need the middle name for full effect lol.

Of course you are. You send your money to China. They lend it back to you. You send it to Europe. Easy!

Nicely done Whell. The Obama supporters are still in denial.
